Paypal IPN Problem

[JohnOP]

Hi, i am building a website where users have a choice to buy a subscription to the next level gold, silver, bronze.

 

Now i have used paypal before for one off payments but i'm finding it to be a problem when i have three seperate buy now buttons

 

<?php
if ($payment_status == "Completed"){

if ($item_name == "Bronze Membership" && $payment_amount == 4.99&&$payment_currency == "USD"){
$update = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET membership = '1' WHERE email = '$payer_email'");
}
if ($item_name == "Silver Membership" && $payment_amount == 9.99&&$payment_currency == "USD"){
$update = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET membership = '2' WHERE email = '$payer_email'");
}
if ($item_name == "Gold Membership" && $payment_amount == 19.99&&$payment_currency == "USD"){
$update = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET membership = '3' WHERE email = '$payer_email'");
}
}
?>

 

As you can see i am checking that the item name is the correct name aswell as price but in the sandbox it wont work.

I took out the name == bit and seems to work, i think i was worried that because i wouldnt be checking the name that if they went to the 19.99 page and typed in 4.99 that they would get the gold memb for the price of the bronze.

If you echo $item_name, does it work correctly?

 

And also, what exactly is the problem? You've told us that it isn't working, however what is it doing wrong?
